Minoxidil and caffeine in transfersomes improve hair growth treatment.

Rosemary leaf extract may be an effective natural treatment for hair growth and male pattern baldness.

Metformin lowers prolactin in women without PCOS but not in those with PCOS, where it reduces other hormones instead.

Ginseng, especially red ginseng, may help regrow hair and block a hair loss-related enzyme.

Some herbs and their components might help treat hair loss by affecting various biological pathways, but more research and regulation are needed.

Insulin resistance is linked to high male hormone levels in women, often seen in those with PCOS.
